Dropped Class but still being charged?

Question

I had to drop my classes during the second week of the Spring 2007 semester. My grandmother passed away and I have to leave the state for an extended period of time. When I tryed to register for the fall semester I was told that I owed them $1,80o. When I looked into it I found out that they had not dropped my classes, instead charged me for them and gave me all F's. I have talked to everyone at the school and they have all been unwilling to help. Since I have moved 2 times since then I dont know where the paperwork is showing I dropped the class. I can't go to another school because I am now on accademic probation becasue of the F's and this school wont release my transcripts. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed so I can go back to any school?

Answer 1

This is common... did you go to all the classes with a drop slip, and get the teachers to sign it... if not then they will charge you and give you F's... I know it sucks.

Talk to the chancellor... or dean.. i can't remember. Since your left because your grandma died they might let you off, but colleges can be real money mongrels... good luck

Answer 2

Sorry about the passing of your grandmother.

But you should have withdrawled from the class online or over the phone.

Try to speak with a counselor or school accounts manager.  Don't give up after trying once.  Sounds like it wasn't your fault.
